Bulk Feed Bin Transport

[norfolk n sheep]

Just bought a 12 ton feed bin on ebay. It is on the Norfolk/Cambs border. I am looking for someone to move it approx 15 miles back to the yard.
There is lots of pig units about with many feed bins, but I cannot find any contacts about a transport company who moves them.
Any ideas? TIA

If it's steel then pull it down with a loader an lift onto trailer.

There is a guy who i think is called barry horne. He buys and sells secondhand bins who may be able to move it for you. Otherwise ive heard of people tipping grain trailers up and pushing them in to move them.

Theres a guy in my village that has a wagon for moving feed bins ,,hes got alot of his own open feeding pigs so it gets used to move his own feed bins

Thanks, i will ring tomorrow for a quote. I was hoping there was someone closer. If all else fails will be loader and trailer.......and some dents

Just thinking more, you could try contacting peter chricton (the auctioneers) as ive seen bins advertised with them and i think they also list people to move them.

Can you get a telehandler to it?
Make a bracketed frame to ratchet strap to the bin.

lift bin clear of floor then rotate forwards to place on trailer.

Detach brackets from telehandler. Couple of straps over trailer. Drive home.
Reverse operation.
This was only a 10t bin, but was only a 6m 2.5t handler.
I wouldn't do it as a regular thing but not too worrying.

We moved one of ours once with our Heath bale chaser. Tip up vertical, strap the bin on then lower.

There's a haulier called Clarke based in North Norfolk who's has a specialist vehicle and experienced operator. I'll pm you the drivers number.
Apologies for not replying sooner, I'm away and been without internet access.

EB and Collinson would move it for you.

I haven't used any cake yet, or any blocks. Although there was a very cheap 12 ton feed bin on ebay, couldn't resist

Has anyone got a number for clarkes, no one wants to answer the mobile number I have been given

 

[spin cycle]

yeah yeah...try 01263 511152....raptor farm services

Have you found a way yet? Use a big bale chaser! A friend of mine in the Cotswolds has moved quite a few with the arcuson chasers.
